Instant-on and no hum, they provide a much better quality of light than the old fluorescent bulbs that they replace. If I didn't make it clear in my earlier comments, I am using these in desk lamps in my home office, and they are really terrific. I had one more lamp to convert that had the ballast built into the head of the lamp, and difficult to access. So, I ordered 2 more bulbs and tackled the job when I had plenty of time to be patient. I am rewarded with what is really a "new" lamp. Again, I stress that especially in this case, removing the old ballast is a job for someone who isn't afraid to disassemble things, work with internal electrical wiring, and make secure connections. But, this old lamp has always been my favorite one, due to its "retro" cool design from LEDU, and now it is even better than ever. These are terrific replacements for the original dim and yellow bulbs. ORIGINAL COMMENTS: Really terrific replacement for the old weak fluorescent bulbs that came with my 2 lamps years ago. I DID have to remove the old ballast transformer from the end of the wires and install a plain 110V plug, but that was easy and quick. If you use these with a ballast, you will damage the bulbs and possibly overheat something, so be aware that in most lamps, this won't be just plug-and-play. But, "converting" the lamps was easy and the reward is that they now work better and brighter than ever. If you are not comfortable with cutting stuff off a lamp cord and replacing the plug, then this probably isn't for you. You need to have some tools and not be afraid of wiring a lamp. Review: Worked well for me! - They fit, they work, , they are brighter than the fluorescents they replaced. the 3000K is too warm for me. I will merely wait for them to burn out and then I’ll get the 5 or 6K variation-if I live long enough. In my application, these lights were plug-n-play with no reworking needed. I’m pleased. ## Features - 【No Ballast Required】Please make sure to remove or bypass the ballast from your existing CFL fixture before installation.

I’m pleased. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Workable replacement- Very Bright output *by D***E on September 11, 2023* Appreciate the brightness of this option bulb type. As a renter the resistance to come out of pocket for parts and appliances are at the forefront. This odd light source is above the bathtub/shower. Nice to have but after time a bulb burned out and light output was intermittent. Eventually got around to investigating what is actually in this contraption. Located these as replacement option. Purchased. Slightly longer than old bulb assembly. Angled - forced into place , installed… WOW, what a difference. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/35287359-2-pack-6w-gx23-2-pin-led-pl-retrofit-lamp](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/35287359-2-pack-6w-gx23-2-pin-led-pl-retrofit-lamp) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
